    As the other reviewers claim. This game has got to be the biggest piece of crap. the only way this game recognizes the moves you do is you flop around your arms like an idiot and claims your performing the dance steps correctly. very very buggy. do yourself a favor and dont even consider even renting this garbage. I cant believe Microsoft even allowed this title to be apart of the launching of Kinect hardware.… Expand

    Nice game that I bought for my wife. She is now using the 360 for the first time. I'm not much into her Zumba Dancing but she really likes it. She now spends time with her friends during the day doing Zumba with her friends at the house before going to her class. Don't know what game those other reviewers were playing but she hasn't had any problems with it. I actually like the music and she has gotten me to do a couple of the songs with her, but I'm more of a shooter fan myself.… Expand

    I think this game is awesome! I was going to Zumba classes, just started and with my hubby's schedule and having my 4 yo it was hard to make it to the scheduled classes on their times. as for others complaining that the game does not let you learn the moves first, if you been to a zumba class it is fast paced and they don't teach you the moves first, you just have to watch and move and sooner or later you will get better, practice makes perfect :)… Expand

    Flaky detection and awkward menus seriously hamper this dance fitness game.

    It may be fun and it may make you sweat, but as an interactive fitness companion it's a feeble, infuriating effort that lacks the stamina to compete.

    She likened the game to the various dance routine videos she owns, which I feel is a fitting comparison for Zumba Fitness for Kinect; a non-interactive set of dance routines where you try to replicate the on screen trainer, with little to no feedback or interaction. Then again, if you wanted a non-interactive dance routine video, you could buy something like Carmen Electra Strip Aerobics and follow that instead of Zumba Fitness's rainbow rhythms disco sensation.
